The Chico Police Department is a diverse organization comprised
of over 140 full-time employees, with an additional 100 police
volunteers, including Volunteers in Police Service, Explorers,
Chaplains and Interns. The department prides itself on the
quality of our personnel and our level of training. We maintain
high standards and our training far exceeds minimum standards.
Our mission is to create a safer Chico and improve quality of
life by partnering with our community and providing dedicated
service. Our core values are integrity, courage, and
respect.
We believe that trust and communication between a police
department and community are essential and are built
intentionally. As such, interaction with our entire community is
a priority in order to establish relationships. This includes
difficult conversations about controversial issues. These
relationships help to build trust and respect. In order to
accomplish our mission, the department maintains a community
policing model and command structure to better serve the needs of
the community and enhance that interaction.
While we have and will face many challenges, we will do so
collaboratively. As your police department, we are
committed to being engaged and transparent as we progress through
difficult times. I am humbled, honored and blessed to serve as
your police chief, and to lead your incredible law enforcement
professionals.
